My dogs are being fed twice a day. The approximate time is between 6 and 8 in the morning and around 6 - 8 in the evening. The reason I say approximate is that I intentionally make it sooner or later. I have found that if I feed at the same time they get anxious. There have been times when I was unable to feed exactly to the clock, so this way you take this anxiousness away from them. So, if they could talk they'd say: "Well, the old lady is late again but we know that we get fed eventually"! No big deal.

I finally realized how stressed the dogs were everyday when it came close to feeding time(s). Changed feeding times to anywhere from 1/2 hour to 2 hours difference. They are calmer now and and so am I . It is like I took their watches from them . lol No changes to appetite or weight. I swear they are just happier but it is hard to explain. ~S Image German Shepherd Dogs -home of - Am / Can Ch.Scherlo's Mr.Karizma OFA h/e http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/rawfeeding/?yguid=140553699 http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/ClassicalHomeopathyPets/ http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/TruthAboutVaccines/ http://community.webshots.com/album/125344462zaHnik --------------------------------- We won't tell.
